Our verdict

A breed specific option worth trying if you have an adult Shih Tzu and want a kibble shape built for that jaw, though the 2.5 lb bag is sized for a trial rather than ongoing bulk feeding.

Overview

Royal Canin Breed Health Nutrition Shih Tzu Adult is a chicken flavored dry dog food built specifically for adult Shih Tzus, sold in a 2.5 pound bag with a kibble shape designed for the breed's jaw structure.

Royal Canin builds its breed specific lines around a matched kibble shape as much as the ingredient list, and this formula is positioned for skin and coat health, dental hygiene and reduced stool volume and odor, concerns owners commonly raise with small, flat faced breeds like the Shih Tzu. At 2.5 pounds the bag is a small starter size rather than a bulk buy.

Who it's for
